OlympicIRL 5,532 Posted July 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2017 As the title suggests, I thought it would be interesting to make a list of athletes per nation and per sport who have competed at every Olympics this century (Sydney 2000 - Rio 2016). I always have a soft spot for athletes who show grit and determination to compete at the top level across a long period of time and those athletes who have such longevity are deserving of our admiration. The primary focus of this thread is so that we can track those athletes who are still on course to compete at a sixth consecutive Olympics in this century and who have a chance to qualify for Tokyo 2020. I would greatly appreciate as much help as possible from all users in this project as I am not enough familiar with some Olympic sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 14,829 Posted July 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Erik Vlček (Sprint Canoeing) for Slovakia. Competing in 2000, 2004 (Bronze in K4-1000), 2008 (Silver in K4-1000), 2012 and 2016 (Silver in K4-1000) and still aiming Tokyo. Not sure if you will count Martikán but he competed in Atlanta 1996 (Gold), Sydney 2000 (Silver), Athens 2004 (Silver), Beijing 2008 (Gold) and London 2012 (Bronze), but miss to qualify for Rio 2016, however he is till competing and fighting for Tokyo spot. Also Don´t know if you count also the winter olympics, because we have few Ice Hockey players which played something like the whole 21st century at Olympics + few also more like Nagano 1998 and Miro Šatan was already the best scorer of the tournament in Lillehammer 1994 and he finished his career only 2 years back.... And I think we can find some of athletes competing at WOG since SLC 2002 and still aiming PyeongChang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think we can find some of athletes competing at WOG since SLC 2002 and still aiming PyeongChang I will probably make a separate note about those athletes like Martikán with that longevity, I know there are quite a few who still compete but maybe missed one or two in between. I will for now concentrate on those who have been at all Summer Olympics since 2000 and then look at adding the others as I would love to track them also As I know nothing about Winter Sports, I won't look at creating those lists for now.... maybe after this list is completed or if someone more knowledgeable wants to take the task then feel free hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted July 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) No Croatian that competed in Sydney is active anymore. Except Blanka Vlašić, but she missed London 2012. As for equestrian, there are several athletes. Dressage - Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven Eventing - Phillip Dutton (competed for Australia in 2000 and 2004), Ingrid Klimke, Karin Donckers Jumping - Taizo Sugitani There are few more that competed in 2000 and only missed one Olympics since. And there are few more that haven't competed at all of them, but were around way before Sydney 2000.

I will try to make space for those interesting athletes who competed at Sydney 2000 or before who may have missed one or more editions in between but are still targeting Tokyo 2020.... first thing first though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
